Tracing a License File

You can also perform the following file tracing steps to determine where the runtime is searching for a license file, and if found, which directory it is in. the trace output also displays information abou the license file itself, including the machine key number.

1. In the OS environment, set the following environment variable:

   A_TRACE_LICENSE=1

2. From the "bin" directory of acucobolxx, execute the following command:

   runcbl -vv

3. Examine the output from the trace to determine if the two entries that follow "Testing port key" match. The following example shows what the trace output would look like in the event of a mismatch:

   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'runtime 8.0.0'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace './runcbl.alc'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Comment'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Blank line'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Blank line'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Comment'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Comment'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Comment'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Blank line'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace 'Testing port key'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace '120'
   ACUCOBOL license: Trace '135'

If you still are unable to resolve the error, contact Micro Focus Customer Care and include the trace output.
